[fuse-devel] Strange, invisible characters via SAMBA

Hello list,
we have some strange thing coming up here:
If we write a file to our filesystem locally (eg. via a cp in linux), our
filesystem works fine (we work with fuseJ).
However, if we write a file via SAMBA, it appears that we have some (3)
"invisible" characters coming up in the beginning of the file.
So far we were sure to only get XML files so we were just searching for the
first "<" and were fine.
However, no we start computing non-XML files and so we have an issue.
Does anyone of you have a clue what is going on here? How could we get rid
of those characters? Are they supposed to always be the same or this some
sort of a strange checksum that win***s is putting into its files....?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance,
Helge
